If you’re looking to improve sunspots, age spots, rosacea, or uneven skin tone—without significant downtime—IPL therapy might be the perfect solution. At ImageLift®, we proudly offer Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments at both our Tampa and The Villages, FL locations, helping patients achieve smoother, brighter skin with this safe and effective light-based technology.
What Is IPL Therapy?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses broadband light to target pigment and vascular irregularities in the skin. It works by delivering pulses of filtered light that heat and break down unwanted pigment and blood vessels—without damaging surrounding tissue. IPL is commonly used to treat:
- Sun damage and age spots
- Rosacea and facial redness
- Hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone and texture
Unlike some more aggressive laser treatments, IPL is gentle and requires little to no downtime, making it a go-to for patients looking for results without a major recovery.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your IPL session begins with a cooling gel applied to the skin to maximize comfort. Then, our skilled provider will glide the IPL handpiece across the treatment area, delivering precise bursts of light. Treatments typically take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
You may feel a mild warming or snapping sensation with each pulse—most patients tolerate it very well.
Is There Downtime?
One of IPL’s biggest benefits is the minimal recovery time. While you may notice slight redness or a sunburn-like feeling right after treatment, these effects usually fade within a few hours. We recommend avoiding sun exposure for at least a week, but you can otherwise return to your normal routine right away.
When Will I See Results?
IPL results develop gradually, with the best results visible around 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. While many patients see improvement after one session, we often recommend a series of 2 to 5 treatments spaced about four weeks apart. More extensive sun damage or pigmentation may require up to 10 sessions.
